Feature Highlights
Pass Ranges
Would you like to allow certain visitors with predefined admission passes the ability to “skip the line” and gain immediate access to your venue without a ticket? Do you have special programs and scenarios where it makes sense to issue a pass instead of a ticket? Consider using Pass Ranges!

Pass Ranges are great for local partnership programs, special seasonal events and even membership guest pass programs. The Pass Ranges feature is configured in ACME Backoffice and allows your organization to upload a series of unique IDs that are scanned directly at the Access Control point.

Here’s how it works::
  • Decide on a range of numbers to issue
  • Create vouchers, printed materials, etc. with the numbers as QR codes or barcodes
  • Use the Pass Ranges tool to set the range, expiration dates, and how many uses the passes receive
  • Distribute your printed material to the recipients
  • Let them skip the line using Access Control to validate the Pass Range numbers!

To set-up Pass Ranges, reference the Configuring Pass Ranges article. To learn more about  Pass Ranges send us an email at support@acmeticketing.com.

Case Study: Lottery Style Summer Camp 

Case Study Image
WNC Lottery Registration Process for Summer Camp
This year the Western North Carolina Nature Center implemented a lottery style system for summer camp registration. There was a large audience but not enough capacity for the program. The need arose from parents rushing to sign up their children before the camp capacity was reached. The outcome of switching to a lottery style signup was viewed as a net positive by both parents and staff at the Nature Center. Read more >>
